About this ingredient

A synthetic crosslinked polymer that functions as a thickening and suspending agent in cosmetic formulations. It absorbs water and swells to create clear, elegant gels with a smooth texture. Commonly used in creams, lotions, serums, and gels to improve consistency, stability, and spreadability without adding greasy or occlusive feel.
